The Wenham Select Board and Land Use Director Kate Mallory led a community forum on the future of the Iron Rail property, an 80-acre parcel with key sites: the DPW building, Iron Rail Gymnastics Academy, Boy Scout barn, soccer fields, and cemetery. The Iron Rail building requires at least $6 million in repairs, prompting discussion of options including a long-term land lease or sale, zoning changes for middle-income housing (potentially under Massachusetts Chapter 40Y), and preservation of recreational and community uses. Stakeholders, including tenants, scouts, and residents, emphasized the importance of Iron Rail Gymnastics, the Scout barn, and soccer fields, urging careful planning, stakeholder engagement, and consideration of financial, legal, and community impacts before any decisions or town meeting votes.
